9. Additive Manufacturing Process Shifts
Standardization
Customization
Simplicity
Complexity
Mono Material
Digital Material
Mass Production
Small Run Production
On the left are the traditional manufacturing approaches to make things cheaper, faster, and more easily built at scale. Additive manufacturing (aka 3D printing) focuses on lower volumes, complex designs that can be highly customized for low-volume production. In many ways, AM is reversing the trends of the earliest days of the Industrial Revolution.
